It\u2019s as if the European Commission is a trendy nightclub with a long line of eager party animals desperate to be admitted.<\/p>\n<p>Only a handful will get the chance to strut their stuff the way they crave. And that means a place in the Commission for the next five years with a plumb job. This time around, many European Union governments define that as one connected to the economy in some way. And though they can flutter their eyelids at the steely-eyed bouncer \u2015 Commission President Ursula von der Leyen \u2015 all they like, they won&#8217;t all get what they want.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe industrial policy and the budget portfolios are the important ones now,\u201d said Guntram Wolff, an economist and senior fellow at the Brussels-based Bruegel think tank. On top of that, there are opportunities in charge of regional spending, financial regulation and national spending control.<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen has set an Aug. 30 deadline to accept all the candidatures. She will interview them, try to solve the puzzle and distribute the seats \u2015 pleasing those she wants to please and spurning those who faces don\u2019t fit. Many factors, not just individual skill sets, will be taken into account: for example, ensuring all four corners of the EU are represented in the most-coveted jobs.<\/p>\n<p>All governments get one representative on the Commission. Here, POLITICO takes a look at the men \u2015 and they are, almost exclusively, men, and mostly over the age of 50 \u2015 who are peacocking before their potential new boss in the hope of an economic role.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-commission-president-ursula-von-der-leyen-commissioner-hopeful\/\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/eu-commission-president-ursula-von-der-leyen-commissioner-hopeful\/\">Politico<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/the-european-commission-hopefuls-with-one-thing-on-their-mind\/\">The European Commission hopefuls with one thing on their mind<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[494,274,1336,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-economic","tag-eu","tag-people","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133129","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133129"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133129\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133129"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133129"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133129"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
